Why Norwich?

All Norwich students are bonded by a shared mindset to go beyond their perceived limits, driving their academic success and professional development forward. Although students are housed based on lifestyle, everything else is shared — classes, sports, student clubs, dining facilities, community service, and academic networks. Together, you will join a powerful network of alumni, spanning the military and private sectors, who offer valuable mentorship and career opportunities.

“At Norwich, there is a big emphasis on service. Volunteering builds character while helping the community and building relations and connections. Some of my favorite memories are from freshman year when my rook family would...spend time helping the community in different ways.” 
— Isabela, student
